It’s just given the match a weird vibe. This disembodied being making decisions, not just reviews.
WWC19 | Final: USA v Netherlands
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
Jamaica’s keeper is from New Jersey and plays collegiately in North Carolina. International rules are weird.
I think that Telford is the better keeper anyway to be honest.
You might be right. Backup keeper is a funny job though. It's one of those positions where rotation is really risky - because so much relies on the centre backs knowing their keeper. It's always felt like Bardsley has the advantage when it comes to England selection, because she's used to playing with Houghton!
Agreed but conversely, Telford and Bright are both at Chelsea.
Bless the girl trying her best not to cry on tv after landing on her back 
Why is Argies manager wearing his pass so weirdly? 
What’s the score?
Did I hear that right? Argentine's goalkeeper stopped playing professional football for 6 years?
0-0, England looking ok with the ball without really testing the defence.
Penalty!
Saved. An Argentina player encroached before Parris hit the ball.
Good height but great save.
Great save.
Awful penalty tbf. Nowhere near the corner and waist high. If Lukaku hit that we would murder him on here.
Argentina are comfortably the best coached side in this tournament. Their players are all awful defensively and have errors in them but in terms of organisation they are 2nd to none. They all know their role and drop back instantly and pack the middle of the pitch.
England really need to move it a bit quicker, far too many times caught trying to be too cute with the ball
That's superb goalkeeping
This goalie didn't get the memo about women being shit keepers.
Not VAR? Correct?
SAMPSON IN !!!
So first half summary:-
Only seen the argie goalkeeper and she's been brilliant.
Not seen our goalkeeper at all.
That's about it.

She's never been a fulltime professional, she's a cashier now. She packed in football ("even 5-a-side") completely for 6 years because she got fed up of things like sleeping on the coach before Argentina's away games because the FA wouldn't cover their hotel costs. The national team manager asked her to come back and start playing again when he returned as manager - he told her things were going to get better.
A bit of a shame she listened to him really

Would it be mean to have the winner of the Men s WC play against the Women's WC winner? I mean.. The men could be two year past their prime at that pt so advantage women
England showing the reasons why their regular watchers are suspicious of them. A bit predictable, a bit slow, prone to overdoing it. Still they're getting chances they need to take one.
And wow - the keeper stops them again!

Yeah, this needs the occasional hoof to roll ARG back a bit.
It would end 25-0 at least.Would it be mean to have the winner of the Men s WC play against the Women's WC winner? I mean.. The men could be two year past their prime at that pt so advantage women
Argentina are really bad.
This is becoming really frustrating to watch. Come on England!
Finally England break through.
Taylor makes the breakthrough.
Thank feck for that.
Yes! Deserved.
Great cross that. Well deserved.
lovely goal
Get in!
Australia women were 3rd best in the world when they played a team of school boys and got utterly thrashed. I dread to think what a real mens team would do.Would it be mean to have the winner of the Men s WC play against the Women's WC winner? I mean..

We should enjoy womens football for what it is as opposed to comparisons with the mens.
Great ball in for the goal.
England have built a lot of good moves. Sometimes though I think we can just drive through them like Kirby did before the goal.
